Insurance
Bedford Commons OB-GYN participates with numerous health plans. We file claims to all health plans on your behalf but since your insurance is a contract between you and your health plan, you are ultimately responsible for payment.
As a courtesy, Bedford Commons OB-GYN verifies coverage for certain benefits with participating health plans. Verification of benefits by Bedford Commons OB-GYN is not a guarantee of coverage or payment. It is advisable for you to personally verify coverage for your services with your health plan. If your health plan determines that a service is “not covered”, you will be responsible for the complete charge.
Cancellations Or Missed Appointments
In order to serve all of our patients, Bedford Commons OB-GYN requires at least 24 hours advance notice for canceled appointments. If you do not cancel your appointment at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, or if you miss your appointment, you may be subject to a $50 missed appointment fee.
Returned Checks
A $25.00 service charge will be applied to returned checks. You will be asked to bring cash, certified funds or a money order to cover the amount of the check, plus the $25.00 service charge prior to receiving any further services from our practice.
Finance Charge
BCOG applies a finance charge of 12% annually to all patient balances outstanding after 30 days.
Collection Fees
In the event your account is placed in a collection status, any additional fees incurred due to this process will be added to your outstanding balance. This includes but is not limited to collections agency fees, attorney fees, court costs, interest and fines.
We understand that insurance plans can be complex and confusing. Our billing staff will gladly answer any questions you have about our financial policy. Contact our billing office at 603-641-0002.
